We included a stacked bar chart detailing the racial background of
those who died from COVID-19 per age group to identify the
intersectionality between many marginalized groups when it comes to
COVID-19 related deaths (e.g. how Hispanic milennials compare to the
Black elderly population). By creating this chart, we can see that the
older a person is, the more likely they are to die from COVID-19, and
that the proportion of those dying from COVID-19 who are Non-Hispanic
White are larger than other groups, likely because they make up a larger
population as a whole. However, Hispanic and Non-Hispanic Black
individuals tend to die from COVID-19 in larger proportions at slightly
younger ages e.g. from 50-64 years, which is an interesting feature to
look into and analyze further.
We made a pie chart in order to see how different races has been affected by COVID-19. By the results of this visual, we were able to find out that Non-Hispanic White group made up 84.7% of this pie chart. This means that they were the most affected by COVID-19 versus other races. By making a pie chart, we were visually able to see the data as a fractional part of a whole which can be a straight forward and effect communication tool for even an uninformed reader.
We included a standard bar chart to examine the age groups of
individuals who died from COVID-19. In looking at this chart, we can
understand that older age groups, specifically between 74-85 years old
and 85 years or older, were much more susceptible to COVID-19, and
likewise more likely to die from the virus. In opposition, younger age
groups were less impacted by the virus, with adolescents and children in
particular having almost no deaths in comparison to the older age
groups.
